The Churchill.

Work is progressing at the Church
i'll. The partition between the Office
and the parlor adjoining has been
taken down, thus forming very large
office. The position of the clerk will
be such that the glitter of his dia-
mond pin can go both to the dining
re I'm, billiard room and stairway with
out his moving from his desk. What
was formerly hallway IL feet wide,
an Office 21x32 and a parlor 22x30
will now form the office. The billiard
room has been enlarged by taking
half of one Of the stores. Massive
timbers have been placed at various
places under the second floor, to
strengthen the building, and by means
of powerful screws, and other imple-
ments those parts of the building that
had settled out of position were fore
ed back to proper level. The build
ing had settled in various places while
on its old foundation, as some of the
spiles had sunk further than others.
The kitchen will be in the basement,
on Water street. Fire places, bath
tubs, etc. will be placed in the best
rooms. The parlor in the second
story is to be enlarged. In the first
story there will be barber shop, bill
lard tables, telegraph Office, and room
for the Lumbermen's Exchange. An
elevator will enable patrons to travel
easily from one story to another,
making the third story rooms very
desirable. There is a fine yiew'of the
city and bay from the upper story.
1t is also reported that bowling alley
will be put under the basement.
Rooms are to be lighted by gas, heat
ed by steam, and electricity will carry
messages from the various rooms to
the presiding genius of the Office. 1t
is not yet decided who will take charge
of the house. Several parties have
been negotiating concerning the mat
ter, among whom are Mr.. Rosefelt, of
Big Rapids, and some persons from
Detroit and other places.

Last Thursday the log train on the
railway Of Fletcher, Pack Il Co., at
Hubbard Lake, was descending a
grade. One of the cars jumped the
track. One of the breakman tried to
signal the engineer but was not sue
cessful. In going down the grade the

grade 1t Is the custom to loosen the
breaks. One Of the breakmen was
Philip Boyle. The train was stopped
at the foot of the grade, and it was
then discovered that Boyle was miss
ing-also the break handle. K search
was made, The break handle was
found laying on the snow at the side
Of the track, and soon after the body
of Boyle was discovered under car
wheel. Before the body could be re-
moved the train had to1e started as
the car wheel held the body fast.
The man was dead and terribly mans
gled. His heart and part of his in.
ternal system had been torn out and
he was fearfully lacerated in other
parts Of his body, left arm and leg,
1t is supposed that when the upfortu-
nate man let loose the break, when
near the foot Of the grade, that the
break handle few out and threw him
Off the car. The remaips were
brought to this city Thursday night
and an inquest was held by coroner

narrow escape from being killed
the early part of last week. The lad
was sliding down chute on a hand
sleigh. In front was roadway, and
at that time team with a loaded
sleigh came along. The teamster
could not see the lad as he was slid
ing down, and the first he saw of the
boy was when he shot under the
horses. The horses naturally jumped
and before the teamster could stop the
horses, the sleigh had run over the
boy. As luck would have it, the
horses feet and the runners missed the
boy, and the sleigh happened to be a
high bench one. The lad had his col
